15 pictures of happy Derbyshire students as they collect their GCSE results

It's results day for GCSEs, and our photo gallery features students at schools across Derbyshire looking pleased with their final grades.

Hundreds of pupils in the county raced to school this morning to collect their all-important GCSE results after what has been another challenging year.

Their final grades have been based on teacher assessments of what they felt students would have achieved if summer exams had taken place.

Many secured top GCSE grades of 7, 8, and 9 – equivalent to A* and A in the old grading system – despite the disruption of Covid-19.

Take a look at these 15 photos of happy students collecting their final GCSE grades across Derbyshire today.
